“The brochure and online description of the camp really sold me on this particular camp. In person, it was beautiful and I knew that my children would have an unforgettable experience.”

“My daughter (who is Autistic) went to Weona for not one but two sessions last summer and LOVED IT! She came home different and a little more independent! THANK YOU!”

This is it – the last chance of a Traditional summer camp week to make memories that will last a lifetime. Come experience our final week full week with all the options. If you missed out on any of our earlier sessions or want to try out a camp, this is the last time this summer for you to do so.  

2011 Last Chance Camp Parent & Camper Comments:
“Each year they've had a great time. Initially I chose it because of the Y's reputation for training staff. Weona has certainly lived up and surpassed that expectation. The proximity to home is also a plus and the cost is reasonable.”

(Service hours may count toward volunteer time for graduation - check with your school counselor.)
